The Bachelor fans are freaking out over a new theory that the official Network 10 “final three” promotional picture for the show reveals that Chelsie wins.
Final three promotional pictures for past seasons always show the winner placed in the middle of the photo. Winners Lee Elliott (from Georgia Love’s season), Sasha Mielczarek (from Sam Frost’s season), Stu Laundy (from Sophie Monk’s season) and Alex Nation (from Richie Strahan’s season) are all seen standing in the middle of these images.

If the theory holds, then Chelsie will be the one to take Matt Agnew’s heart this Thursday.
Network Ten has even gone so far as releasing a new final three photo with Chelsie repositioned, in order to try and debunk the theory.
Multiple insiders insist that Chelsie does, in fact, score the final rose, but it seems the big win isn’t going to plan for Channel Ten.
‘Chelsie has been really down since the show wrapped and now she has said she isn’t going to do any interviews,’ the source told New Idea. ‘She doesn’t want anything to do with the franchise anymore, despite being under contractual obligations for months to come.’
The duo are said to be on strained terms since the show wrapped.
‘Since the finale, everyone has heard there’s been problem after problem – they were just not seeing eye-to-eye on anything and didn’t have any chemistry. Once the cameras stopped rolling, the sparkle just wore off,’ the insider revealed.
With photos recently emerging showing this year’s villain Abbie Chatfield jetting off to Matt’s home town after filming wrapped, word has spread that her visit could have something to do with Chelsie’s unexpected outburst.
And seeing as Matt hasn’t explicitly said that the final contestant he chooses is the woman he ends up with, it adds more weight to theories that Abbie and Matt could be secretly dating.
‘Abbie went to Melbourne after the finale [finished filming] and since then she has started to behave really strangely,’ the insider dished. ‘She’s secretly confessed to the other girls that she has a man, but she keeps saying that while she wishes she could tell them more she just can’t.
‘Now everyone is wondering if the secret man is Matt.’
